Fry's: Intel Haswell-E Core i7 5820K for $329 w/FS

^ Yeah I was thinking more the Asus boards since those are the only ones I've seen. The X99 Deluxe is like $400, and the ROG X99 is... you don't want to know.
 
This looks like a great deal to me. You can buy this and then pick up a MSI X99 SLI Plus off Amazon for less than I paid for my 4790K and Z97 Sabertooth. Amazing.

Wish I had waited and just sold off the pile of DDR3 I had instead of trying to use it all.

Oh yeah.. He's way outa line..

$500 bucks for a board? Gtfouta here.. Everything about these Haswell E's screams overpriced garbage.
 
I'm seriously debating picking one of these up, but I'm not sure I really need to upgrade my 2600k

Except he was linked to a board that would cost under $200 with visa checkout. :rolleyes: BTW if a 6 core unlocked Haswell-E at $329 is overpriced garbage what does that make the i7-4770K and i7-4790K?
 
+$330 for the CPU
+$250 for a MB
+$220 for 16GB (really?) of DDR4

for what 10-15% max performance increase over my 3930K @ 4.4Ghz?

No thanks..

How much would you spend if you sold your 3930K, Motherboard and ram.

$100?

apart from DDR4 (which is expected since is brand new) I don't see how it is overpriced at all. You can get a six core CPU, mobo, and 16GB RAM under $1k that will probably last at least 5 years.

If you knew anything about all electronics. New stuff is always overpriced and not worth it.
 
Well, I was planning on waiting until next year as DDR4 and the BIOS on these new boards matures a little bit but now I'm tempted to just go for it. I'll be upgrading from an i7 920 so I imagine I'll see major improvements. The Fry's near my has them in stock so the deal is based on location.

Decisions decisions.
